Episode description

In Episode 96 we chat with Dr. Josie Ahlquist, Digital Research Author, speaker, and instructor at Florida State University. Josie works from home and wears many hats, and we talk about how she makes it all work (hint: it involves having an office in an unconventional place). We also chat about Josie's favorite topic - digital student leadership - and how she teaches about it at Florida State. We also talk all about social media in our own lives, and how times have changed!
